Preparing to run the Qlik Replicate collector
Setting up pre-requisites for running the collector
Make sure that the machine from where you are running the collector meets the following hardware and software requirements.
Item | Requirement |
|---|---|
Hardware Note: The following specs are based upon running one collector process at a time. Please adjust the hardware if you are running multiple collectors at the same time. | |
RAM | 8 GB |
CPU | 2 Ghz processor |
Software Docker or Java Runtime Environment | |

Java Runtime Environment | OpenJDK 17 is supported and available here. |
data.world specific objects | |
Dataset | You must have a ddw-catalogs dataset set up to hold your catalog files when you are done running the collector. If you are using Catalog Toolkit , follow these instructions to prepare the datasets for collectors. |
Network connection | |
Allowlist IPs and domains | |
Setting up authentication for Qlik Replicate Cloud
Create a user for the collector. For detailed instructions, see the Qlik Replicate documentation
To set up permissions:
Login to the Qlik Enterprise Manager.
Navigate to the Users tab.
Create a new user with the Viewer on All Servers role assignment:
Grants read access to task lists, task details, task monitoring status, and endpoint lists via the API.
Upgrade to Operator on All Servers if server connection properties (host, port) are also required.
Note
Note: Enterprise Manager roles are independent of Replicate's own user permissions. The EM role only controls what the collector can access through the Enterprise Manager API.
If your organization uses Active Directory, you can instead add the collector's service account to the AttunityEnterpriseManager Viewer (or Operators) AD group rather than creating a user directly in Enterprise Manager.
